Somewhat. It would have been nice to have an unjuiced guy break the HR record and Griffey really could have. But he still would have been overrated.
Even if we're comparing non-steroid guys to non-steroid guys. Mike Trout is a better pure hitter, base runner, fielder than Griffey and he walks more. The only thing you can say about Griffey is that if he stayed healthy, he could have broken the HR record. At this rate, other than HRs, in Trout's first 10 years he's going to annihilate Griffey's first 10.
